[rhn-users] Gamin /tmp expand problem

[Lamon, Frank III]

You don't need to unmount the filesystem to resize it in RHEL4 - just
increase the LV to the desired size and run "ext2online /tmp"

Subject: [rhn-users] Gamin /tmp expand problem



Hi everyone,

 

New to the list here and somewhat of a newbie in Linux terms so
apologies in advance for some undoubtedly daft questions!

 

I have just invested in some RHE 4 x64 which looks good and I am slowly
getting to grips with it.


I have a new install including Webmin and Virtualmin (and vmware)
/tmp is being reported as too small to run any virtual servers -
therefore I need to increase its size from about 500mb (52mb free not
enough)
I Increased size of Logical Volume02 by 2GB (For good measure and got
loadsa disc space)
I then apparently need to increase size of /tmp to the 2gb which
shouldn't be a problem with a resize command to the  full extent of the
already extended logical volume. (That went OK)
But when trying to unmount the /tmp file I found various processes are
running - most kill off OK with Webmin users button - kill or terminate.

But one process remains which means I can't unmount /tmp to resize it.
The problem process, gamin, which won't die short of it seems shooting
it somewhere vulnerable in the hardware apparently. I have tried
everything (as a serious new newbie here so may have missed something
from "everything" ;-) ) I tried kill gamin at the prompt too - nothing
happened, searched forums till I my finger tips are raw and my eyes
strained.

I can't unmount the /tmp and resize it until I can get rid of this
process and it's now holding up the rest of the project so any help
would be most appreciated.

Paul
